How long should I cook ramen noodles in the microwave?
How long should you cook ramen in the microwave, you ask? We have an answer for that too.
The duration of cooking your ramen will generally depend on the size of the ramen you are making. A bigger amount will take a longer time. Cooking one pack of instant ramen in the microwave usually takes somewhere between 4 – 5 minutes.
Some recipes would recommend a lesser cooking duration somewhere around 3 minutes but we recommend you make ramen in the microwave for 5 minutes. When you cook your ramen for a longer time, you can build your flavor as you cook and steam your vegetables properly.

Tips to improve the recipe
When it comes to making ramen at home using your microwave, there is no general rule and you can be as flexible as you like.
Do you want veggie-loaded ramen? Add your spinach, mushrooms, dried seaweed, frozen corn, and chopped jalapenos.
Do you want and extra filling ramen? Add your roasted tofu, cooked chicken, diced avocado (yes, don’t worry diced avocados make a great combo).
Do you want a thicker noodle broth? Add a spoonful of miso paste mixed with water to your ramen if you prefer a thick noodle broth. (You might want to skip the soy sauce if you add a miso paste as this will make it saltier than you can handle).
There are different ways you can make your ramen. It all depends on what you like.
Do you want a thick and cheesy top ramen? Add a slice of cheese but with less noodle seasoning.
Do you want creamy garlic ramen? Add your minced garlic and nutmeg in milk, boil the milk before mixing the ramen.
